Mapping Job Titles to Seniority Levels: Pre-Clay Methods Explained

·

For those who have been doing GTM longer than I: I need to go from a person’s title to their seniority level. I know how to build this in Clay. What I’m just curious about is how this was done pre- Clay, pre-LLMs? I assume via a list of titles -> regex -> seniority mapping?

A lookup table is my guess.

agreed. I’d love to know how they handled (or are mostly handling) the many outliers and variations without LLMs

Whenever there is an outlier (a new value), add the mapping for that record to the lookup table.

Like Amit says you could probably use an LLM to generate a ton of job titles for the departments you're focusing on, and then use Clay's Map/Group feature to put them in the right groups based on this info!
